Famous for his steely critiques and hard-won handshakes on The Great British Baking Show, celebrity chef and TV host Hollywood is comparatively warmer in print. His gorgeous new baking book collects 100 recipes—including ginger biscuits, double chocolate Danish twists, and matcha mirror glaze gateau—gleaned from his more than 30 years of professional experience. Ranging from easy to exacting, these and other treats (e.g., breads, puddings, savory pies, British classics) will intrigue most home bakers. U.S. readers will need to decipher British measurements and ingredients (e.g., strong flour, caster sugar, double cream). Turn to Hollywood's How To Bake or search online for more information on ingredients used.
VERDICT Hungry for more of The Great British Baking Show? This one's for you. Highly recommended.
